Dooley works across media encompassing writing, moving-image, performance and sound. Often rooted in close-range observations and environments, layered soundtracks and fictional narratives expand outwards in scale, navigating their way through divergent subjects. Her work is concerned with the voice: literal, characterised, live, recorded, spoken, muted, muttered, sung, out-of-sync. Dooley is interested in leaky thoughts, shared spaces, broken structures, precarious plotlines, forms of entertainment and attempts at connection.
